Intro
Welcome to this guide, in which i am going to explain how i made the Excellent Events going.
It's going to be actually quite easy, but it does have some work to it. Don't expect it to be fast.

If you want another (less *cough* legal) way to do the achievements, you can follow this guide:
(see the Excellent Events section there).

The First Run: collecting information
I can safely assume that you know there are 4 different events, so no spoilers here.
I didn't have any guide, but i got the solution by logic thinking. The facts i knew:

- 4 different events
- All need some kind of food, don't know which
- All need some alcohol (assumption)
- I need to host each event at least 2 times to figure out what food/drinks are relevant

So i need to collect some data. The first step:

Making at least 4 of each food recipe
This seems like a big undertaking, but if you're endgame now, it shouldn't be too hard.
The kitchen in your Tavern makes every recipe (even bonfire) much faster.
Just collect the ingredients, or if you have a lot of money, buy a few from Horadric.

TIP:
If you haven't already: buy a Teleport Stone from Horadric.
It saves a lot of time, despite the cooldown.

Keep producing alcohol in the meantime, so your zombie can supply the Tavern after an event and get the stars up as fast as possible.

Hosting the event the first time
Save your game
Take 1 of each food with you and go host an event.
After the event you'll get a rating of each food that was served.
The list will be long, and the UI will be bugged, but we are only interested in the rated food.

The important part
Write the ratings down, for each event, so you know what to produce large quantities of.


The Second Run: getting the Excellent status
Now that you have collected all the data, you can mass produce the needed items.

Do this all at once in the kitchen of your tavern. The most tedious part is getting the ingredients sometimes.

TIP:
I recommend not doing only one kind of food, but a few different kinds, to spread your chances.
Of course you can make a stack (20pcs/stack for most) of all rated food.

Also, quite obviously, keep an eye out for your alcohol supply chain to your Tavern.

Hosting the event the second time.
Save your game

When you have all ingredients to host an event the second time, there's only one thing left to do...
Party Hard

The achievement should unlock for each event, if you stick to the recommendations.


Sidenote and thanks
The smart people will maybe notice you can Save the game and do an event, while not having to wait for the Rep Stars to grow back again. I didn't do this because in my opinion this is something of a cheat, but the game makes this exploitable.

Thanks
Thank you for reading my short guide and I hope my solution helped you.
Please be gentle, this is my first ever guide on Steam.
